Desenvolvimento de projetos (/dev/Kico) A questão dos micro serviços ainda me acompanha. Desde a publicação do meu último post sobre o assunto venho recebendo feedback de diversas pessoas além de ter entrado em contato com tantas outras. Com a mente um pouco mais clara (ao menos espero) chegou a hora de expor minhas conclusões correntes sobre o assunto. A grande questão: é SOA? A conclusão que cheguei é quase óbvia: sim e com poucas novidades. O modelo de referência do OASIS é um documento bastante árido mas que lido com atenção nos fornece um sólido conceitual para entender, de fato, o que é SOA. O que é SOA? Citando o modelo de referência do OASIS, SOA seria (…) um paradigma que visa organizar e usar funcionalidades (capabilities) distribuídas que podem pertencer a distintos donos (ownership domains). Há um conceitual muito importante (e interessante) neste documento que é importante divulgar aqui. E o que é um serviço dentro deste conceitual? Estas informações são fundamentais para que o serviço possa ser descoberto.

CSS Techniques I Wish I Knew When I Started Designing Websites Dec 18 2009 By Tim Wright and TJ Kelly CSS is the best thing to happen to the web since Tim Berners-Lee. It’s simple, powerful, and easy to use. But even with all its simplicity, it hides some important capabilities. All designers at some point in their career go through the process of encountering a weird display issue, searching for a resolution, and discovering a trick, technique, or hack could have saved them hours of frustration—if they had only known when they started. We’ve put together a list of the most frustrating and time-consuming CSS headaches and, more importantly, their solutions (along with examples and further resources). Resets & Browser Inconsistencies Not all browsers are created equal. The early stages of resets, designers dealt with differing margin and padding values, using a global reset: inputbuttonhr These elements were excluded because their cross-browser differences are so vast that you would have to completely unstyle them to create a "bulletproof" element. <!

To the Core of the Script To allow easier integration with other scripts and make things more modular the core script is an object with very simple interface. This is the class definition and the constructor of the object. OK it's not perfectly modular but a date isn't much of a problem. It is invoked like: $date = gmdate("'Y-m-d'"); $db = db_connect(); $user = new User($db); Now to clear the code purpose, we check if the user is logged in. Logging in Users To allow users to login you should build a web form, after validation of the form you can check if the user credentials are right with $user->_checkLogin('username', 'password', remember). function _checkLogin($username, $password, $remember) { $username = $this->db->quote($username); $password = $this->db->quote(md5($password)); $sql = "SELECT * FROM member WHERE " . The function definition should be placed inside the User class definition as all code that follows. The WHERE statement is optimized (the order of checks) because username is defined as UNIQUE.
How to Really Build Backlinks and Dominate Google Without a doubt, the most frequent post request I’ve had on this site is a post about link building. I rarely take requests, simply because people rarely know what they really want until you give it to them, but this time things are a little different. First of all, I have been studying SEO day and night since I was 16 (almost 5 years ago) and I’ve ranked on the first page of Google for some of the most competitive keyphrases in the world. Therefore, I like to think I know quite a bit about the topic and can provide some insights in this space. For those of you who don’t know why links are important, let me just say that if you want to get traffic from the major search engines, they’re crucial. A large percentage of my income to affiliate sites is from traffic via Google, and the difference between ranking 2nd and ranking 1st can literally be thousands of dollars extra on my bottom line. SEO is generally divided into two parts: on-site optimisation and off-site optimisation. Be Useful
Send Text Messages with PHP Kids these days, I tell ya. All they care about is the technology. The video games. The bottled water. Oh, and the texting, always the texting. omg did you hear? no wut omg i can't believe you didn't hear lol tell me! jenny and mark were holding hands omfg does john no? ok i made it up, ur so lame Riveting. The Methodology Unbeknownst to me, sending text messages can be as easy as sendmail, because you can send your text to an email address and it will be delivered. Phone companies have internal lookups for phone carriers but developers like you and I don't get access to them, so knowing the carrier is a must. The PHP PHP's provided method for sending emails is the mail function. bool mail ( string $to , string $subject , string $message [, string $additional_headers [, string $additional_parameters ]] ) Using the mail function and the text message email format, sending a text message is as easy as: mail("5558675309@txt.att.net", "", "Your packaged has arrived!" Who knew it was that easy?
